Young Wife, Afraid To
Eat. Lives On Soup
Afraid of stomach gas, I lived on
soup for 5-months. Then I tried Ad-
Jerika and now I eat most anything
without any gas.”—Mrs. A. Connor
Adlerika relieves stomach gas in
TEN minutes! Acts on BOTH upper
and lower bowel, removing old poi-
sonous waste you never knew was
(there. Don’t fool with medicine
which cleans only PART of bowels,
but let Adlerika give stomach and
bowels a REAL cleaning and get rid

money. Another way is to build

There is Natural Gasoline, to give quickstartrng.
There is Straight-run Gasoline, to give ^powcr
